Phil Spencer has had a whirlwind of a month following the controversial UWP (Universal Windows Platform) announcement as well as the recent announcement of cross-platform play for the Xbox one but it's not as easy as it sounds. Microsoft's past restriction of online gaming has basically cornered developers into creating titles that work on both Window platforms as well as the Xbox console but haven't been open to interaction with Sony titles on the Playstation 3 or 4. The catch is getting Sony to play ball. We've seen recently that in order to drive competition, certain triple A titles have offered special DLC for titles for a specific console, for example Bungie's Destiny that's given players various items since its launch that were only available for the Playstation version. We've seen the same with certain expansions being released at different times for console and PC versions of games as well. Even if it were for small cosmetic additions, gamers would most likely be upset playing along side gamers on another console who have received various in game swag that they have yet to or might not at all. We most likely won't be seeing all titles open to cross-platform play for reasons of difficulty of mechanics as well as developer resources, but the first one we know we're getting will be Rocket League. The official announcement is currently on the games website page but it hasn't been confirmed for PS4's interaction with Xbox One players. Microsoft's upcoming exclusive, Quantum Break, will also feature a cross-platform play in that gamers will be allowed to stop the game on their consoles and pick up where they left off on the PC version of the game. They're still plenty of questions surrounding this topic that one could ask. What happens wih duplicated names? What server will host all these gamers? It looks like it's up to the hands of the developers but hopefully we will get some real console v. console action in the future!

Microsoft let loose the opening cinematic trailer for Octobers Halo 5: Guardians and it's exhilarating. The trailer introduces some of the main characters that are out hunting a familiar hero and fighting forces of the covenant. The trailer itself looks great and shows off some over the top action that hopefully gives us a glimpse of what 343 Studios has in stores for gamers. Halo 5: Guardians releases October 27th, 2015. Check out the trailer below and get ready to get your Master Chief on.

If you're looking for a great gift this season than rejoice, Microsoft has you covered. Listed on the Xbox live wire blog page, Microsoft is putting out some very cool and well priced 360 bundles.

There will also be a similar bundle available at all retailers with a black version of the console and a Target bundle with the Kinect, Kinect Adventures, Kinect sports, Forza Horizon, and a month of Xbox live gold. They'll be available September 16th for 250$ each. I honestly love the blue version and wouldn't mind picking one of those up!

We are 5 short days from the release of, what industry analyst are hoping, will be the next big franchise for gaming. Bungie's Destiny has already amassed 500 million dollars in marketing and developing the title, making it one of the most expensive games ever created, and Activision's CEA Eric Hirschberg revealed that the upcoming title broke all records for pre-orders as well.
